I failed open early this morning. About 5:30 am. Decided to go hit a local park for a few hours as the weather guessers were telling me that it was going to rain.
This park has never been good for much. Even clad is hard to find. Plenty of trash and some EMI to complicate things but I am stubborn some times so Detecting I did go.
As usual the Park produced the usual small amount of good targets. I decided that the horse was dead so I would quit beating him and go to another park. I was walking to the car and got a coin target. Got to detecting the area between the sidewalk and the park fence.
The occasional clad coin was showing up so I continued to work down the street. Got to a second entrance to the park and hit a real nice high clear tone on the GT. The target was right in the corner of the two sidewalks. I had just dug a copper Lincoln about a foot and a half away and kinda expected another one. Dug the plug and lifted it. In the hole I saw Silver looking up at me. My oldest Merc had just made her appearance. 1918 is the date. I could not get my digital camera to focus to the point that the date is readable in the Picture. I don't know why but I get as much or more of a thrill digging a silver coin as I do finding a gold ring at the beach.
When I finished I was working back to the car and got a nickel tone that gave a little lower meter reading than I was expecting. Dug it and a Buffalo joined my collection. Unfortunately I can not read a date on it.
Got a few dollars in clad, A Silver and a Buffalo. I had a Good Morning.
